another thing is that some led makers make a big deal of having warehouse/offices in the uk and states.yet when anyone places an order they are told "local warehouse out of stock,unit will be sent from china at no extra cost"
I get the feeling the local warehouses are actually just a PO box.
we all have other interests outside of growing.I read "back to back"or "A v B v C" tests.why no led tests?.take high end hi-fi for example,you can have millions of facts and figures.graphs charts reviews polls and whatnot.yet the only thing that matters to me is "do my ears like the sound enough to warrant paying X amount.
leds are a grey art just like hi-fi and engine tuning.
if I knew as much about led as I do about cars,I would have a shortlist of 3 in each price bracket.the rest I would consider as garbage. sorry to muddle thread,just had my 1st smoke of the day.it makes me babble a bit.
